Catch Pokemon

All the Pokemon You Can Catch!

For those of You wondering about the various types of Pokemon you can catch in the game, here is the clincher, you can catch almost all of the original monsters on the Gameboy, plus a few from the later generations. However it will take a bit of time and effort to actually catch em all. The level requirements mean that the Pokemon will have the chance to evolve automatically upon reaching that specific level.

Some evolutions are not triggered by level gains, some are triggered by the use of evolution stones that can be bought at the PokeMart (they sell for 10,000 credits apiece). Another form of evolution is done through trade. To do this, simply go to the trading center by selecting "trade" in the main memu. Set the desired Pokemon up for trade, then send the Pokemon back to your profile. This will automatically evolve the Pokemon.

So without further ado, here is all the Pokemon you can get, and what they will evolve to.

A quick note about Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle: you can only choose one of the three. Once you make a selection, the other two become unavailable. The only way to get them if you skip them is through trading.

Final Notes:

The three legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, will be your final targets as they require 18 level 100 Pokemon to defeat (6 level 100 Pokemon for fire, lightning and water types).

Raikou, Entei and Sucine are called the three legendary beasts (or legendary cats/legendary dogs). They were voted in by fans to be turned into being permanently available, but the chances of owning one are extremely low.

Lastly, obtaining a Victini is still possible even if it's no longer available as a Mystery Gift. But players will have to scour the trades for a good deal.
